I grew up in New Zealand where possums are a pest and a LOT of people
go out hunting. Folklore said they weren't worth bothering with (tough
and tasteless), and that was so ingrained that I have never met anybody
who's tried to eat one.

Possum is generally considered a pest in most places. However, they are
edible and not too bad if that's all that's available. Granny used to
cook them - parboiled first with ramps and a little vinegar; then, she'd
put them in a roaster with sweet potatoes, more ramps, and whatever
seasonings she had on hand. Tasted ok the way she made them but not
something I'd cook.

How could you possibly eat "Pogo"?????

"We have met the enemy, and he is us"........Pogo..........by the most
brilliant cartoonist of the century, (in my opinion) Walt Kelly.

If you really think Doonesbury, Kelvin & Hobbes.....etc..... are brilliant &
funny.......Look at the Walt Kelly Books (he also did a Syndicated Cartoon
strip for many years) on EBay & buy one.....most being created in the 50's &
60's....he was truly brilliant, if not genius.

Now.....if you live in Beverly Hills, in a big mansion.....you might have
possum served to you quite often.....
